There are two videos here and while the first is just a commercial with bad sound, it looks pretty cool. I’m more impressed by the second video, which while lacking in it’s own regard, gives a pretty cool in-depth look at the possibilities available with this new gaming engine. Also look here: http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce8.html

Sand Art (Squand ain’t got nothin’ on this)
First off, I’d like to apologize for the late post. When I got home, I decided to take a nap, which eventually turned into a 13 hour sleep, so I never got around to posting this. This is something interesting my friend showed me the other day. I’m not sure if there is a more…
Greener – Iole Alessandrini
Greener is the latest work by Italian artists Iole Alessandrini. With this piece Alessandrini alters the landscape visually through the use of lasers that create layers of green light over a grassy terrain. Once more, the viewer here is not independent from the art piece because is his/her interaction (in this case blocking the light…
Human Genetics and Cloning?
So I was only going to post one of these pages but I couldn’t decide on one so I’d recomend just checking some of them out if your interested. This is an extremly touchy subject to alot of people and well….thats just why I like it. Like I said before and I’ll say again, people…
CHINESE BOOT CAMP
Here is something that goes back to our conversation about internet issues. Something to add to the never ending conversation… A survey found that almost 14 percent of teens in China are exposed to internet addiction. It even got more alarming when Sun, a 17 year old who has recently checked in, would at times…
color changing coffee cup lid
This is a pretty simple concept, yet very useful. The lid is heat sensitive and when the liquid is too hot the lid is red. As it cools it turns brown. This is another way to help people that forget that coffee is a hot liquid not burn themselves. Kena
interactive urinals
So taking a pee while playing a game? i’m down. marcel neundorfer designed an urinal to do just that. peeing on a certain spot in the urinal controls a character or object on the screen to play one of many mini games programmed into the system. marcel said the basis of this type of urinal…
Handcrank Phone Charger
The Hole – video powered by Metacafe I find this demo to be pretty interesting for two reasons. One he applied his knowledge of basic circuitry and using that to create and innovated idea. I’m impressed that he could change the function of a normal flashlight to have an additional function. Also, I think that…
Amy Young’s Mnemonic Devicive
Fast becoming one of my favorite contemporary artist Amy Young displays simple brilliance in her Mnemonic Devicive. The piece is composed of a Theremin, circuitry exposed, inside of a tire. A Theremin is an instrument played without being touched; the pitch of the emitted tone changes as ones hand gets closer or farther away. I…
The building blocks of life
So I followed this link for a while and I have to say how much I’m reminded that LEGOs are cool. I went here 1st: http://www.comlink.de/cl-hh/f.moeller/creator%20collection.html a link to some art from a previous LEGO design program. Next I went here: http://ldd.lego.com/download/ and downloaded the newest version. They start you off with a car chassis…
Atari is still cool
These photographs were taken by using long exposures to capture all the light motion that you wouldn’t normally notice while playing Atari games. I thought this was a very ingenious idea for taking pictures and I wonder how many other applications this method could be used on. The photos are beautiful works that inspire me…
Pong in Basic Stamp
Here is a valuable example for one of our interactive modes. There is another option for a laser projection which I think is a possibility as well. This site is the Sh*%, it has a lot of the open source available for us. This will give us some leeway to be a little more open…
